Congratulations on your new puppy Jigar! Yes, you can add water but it shouldn't be boiling water (thats really hot!!). You can just add hot water and wait about 30 minutes and it should break down. Make sure that the temperature is not too hot for Jigar. I hope this helps to get you started. Please feel free to post any further questions.
